Car Boot Sales
They are few and far between around my area of London now but car boots are a fab way of getting bargains. Much of my childhood was spent with my mum and nan doing car boots and making some serious wonga-it was a lot of fun and we used to pick up some unique buys too. Car boots are great for things like books and toys but I recommend never buying anything electrical as you could find yourself with something dodgy! http://www.carbootjunction.com/ has some great listings for your area!
Closing down sales
Lots of shops seem to be closing down recently and I have managed to get some good bargains-so keep an eye out as some shops reduce their stock as much as 75%.
Never buy anything online without searching for discount codes
It only takes 2 minutes and you may often find that you could have saved yourself 20% off something-even takeaways. When we order takeaways (which is a common occurance!) we always use hungryhouse.co.uk and they often run promotions including 10% off, a free item with your order etc.
Freebies!
In a world with ever growing prices and shortages, it is still possible to get freebies! I am always visiting http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/freebies-gold which often gets updated-sometimes you may have to fill in a survey or form but isn't it worth it for something freeeeeee?
I am off now for a night of reality tv-Michael is making us a yummy carbonara pasta with peas, bacon and broccoli. I will wash up as obviously I have to make a contribution...;)
Have a great weekend everyone xoxo
